The hub for your simple home studio

Mackie's compact Onyx Producer 2·2 gives you pristine audio pathways into and out of your computer, opening the doorway to digital home recording. It comes with a pair of acclaimed Onyx mic preamps, perfect for capturing dynamic sound from two separate mics at the same time. You can also connect guitars, basses, or keyboards — whatever you need for your home studio projects.

Plug your headphones of choice into the front-panel input to hear what you're doing. Or hook up a pair of studio monitors to the 1/4" outputs on the back. Use the front-panel mix control to blend zero-latency dry analog signals with effects coming back from your DAW (digital audio workstation) software. MIDI in/out jacks let you hook up a compatible synthesizer or controller.

Bundled software

The Onyx Producer 2·2 works with all major DAW software for the Mac® and Windows® platforms. To get you started, it comes bundled with a powerful DAW called Tracktion T7™, along with a range of audio effect plugins.

Features

Overview: The Mackie Producer 2*2 is a 2-in/2-out USB interface
featuring Mackie's Onyx mic preamps for studio-quality fidelity and dynamic
range, maximum headroom, and ultra-low noise. Onyx preamps were designed to
capture the warmth and accuracy in everything from vocals to guitars with
24-Bit/192 kHz resolution. Both inputs are comprised of an XLR/TRS combo jack
that can accept mic, line, and instrument level signals and include a Hi-Z
switch each for instrument level. Incorporating Mackie's "Built Like A Tank"
construction, the Producer 2*2 is ready for the most demanding jobs and live
use.

Zero-Latency: The Producer 2*2 features a true analog monitoring path
directly from the preamps to the Line and Headphone outputs. This allows you to
listen in either mono or stereo to the direct analog source with zero routing
while tracking. This means your computer's buffer settings can be adjusted to
maximize its processing ability.

USB: The Producer 2*2 features USB 2.0 connectivity for fast data
transfer and minimal latency and is bus powered from the host computer,
eliminating the need for an external power supply. The interface is
compatible with both Mac (Core Audio) and PC (ASIO).

MIDI: The rear panel of the interface includes a 5-pin MIDI IN and
MIDI OUT port for integration and control of outboard synths, sequencers,
controllers, and other MIDI gear.

Tracktion: With the purchase of a Producer 2*2, Mackie offers a free,
downloadable copy of Tracktion T7 DAW software. This is a full-featured DAW with
a plethora of creative tools including unlimited track count and compatibility
with all popular plugins. Also included is the DAW Essentials Collection,
comprised of 16 contemporary FX plug-ins that can be used with any DAW. These
plugins utilize the very latest algorithms and coding techniques to deliver
extraordinary sound quality. Tracktion is compatible with Mac, Windows, and
Linux operating systems.

Front Panel: Both inputs on the the Producer 2*2 include a combo
XLR/1/4" TRS jack that accepts mic, line, and instrument level signals, a Hi-Z
switch for instrument level signals, a Gain control, and an LED signal
indicator. This will light green when a signal is present on that channel and go
red if the signal starts to overload. The Monitor section includes a master
level control, a Mix knob that adjusts the level of both inputs and DAW playback
going to the Line Outs and Headphones with zero-latency. A +48V phantom power
button can be activated for both input channels, and a 1/4" stereo headphone
jack with its own level control is provided. A USB LED will illuminate green
when successfully connected to a computer via the rear USB port, and a MIDI LED
lights green when receiving data on the MIDI IN jack.

Rear Panel: Includes the USB type-B port for connection to a computer
DAW, standard 5-pin MIDI IN and OUT ports, and a set of Left/Right 1/4" Line
Outputs for running to powered studio monitors or an amp driving passive
speakers. The Line Output jacks can accept a balanced (TRS connector) or
unbalanced (TS connector) connection. The rear panel also includes a security
slot designed to fit a Kensington security lock.
